Amarillo BBC Pure Hop Pellets – 50g

R90.00 incl. VAT

AMARILLO® VGXP01 c.v. is one of those legendary varieties and is now in the top 10 most widely used hops. It was developed by Virgil Gamache Farms in the Yakima Valley and was originally named VGXP01 cv. Amarillo® offers solid bittering properties in the 9-11% Alpha Acid range and it packs one of the highest myrcene oil contents (60-70% of total oils) of any hop. This gives it a very sweet citrus flavor and aroma that is closer to oranges than grapefruit. The citrus character is backed by some light floral notes as well as melon and peaches.

Dual purpose. Can be used as both a bittering and aroma hop

The BBC Pure Hop Pellet™ was developed in the USA in a collaboration between our global partner John I. Haas and the Boston Beer Company (hence BBC). They were looking to create a pellet that allowed them to create greater efficiency in their brewing, while keeping as much of the original hop as possible. The result has proved to be a big hit, particulary within the craft brewing community.
